Magnetoelectric Velocity Sensor

Magneto-electric velocity sensors operate on a simple principle: a coil moves relative to a permanent magnet, generating a voltage proportional to vibration velocity. This passive design means the sensor works without excitation voltage, reducing failure points and cabling complexity. Kingmach units are typically built with rugged stainless steel housings, sealed to IP67 or higher, and can endure temperatures from -20°C to 100°C. Frequency response often spans from 4.5 Hz or lower up to 1-2 kHz, covering most industrial rotating machinery applications. Sensitivity ranges are available to match your data acquisition system—commonly 20 mV/mm/s or 28.5 mV/mm/s, though custom sensitivities can be supplied. Output is a low-impedance voltage signal that travels long distances without significant degradation. We offer both vertical and horizontal mounting options, along with explosion-proof and intrinsically safe variants for hazardous areas. Every sensor goes through a verification run on a shaker table before shipping. Our global distribution network means replacement units and spares are never far away. If your project calls for a non-standard frequency range, special connector, or custom cable length, our engineering team can usually deliver a prototype in under four weeks. You get a sensor that fits your exact monitoring need, not an off-the-shelf compromise.
